U.S. drone strike wiped out Kabul family, brother says

Kabul – When Ezmarai Ahmadi returned home from work on Sunday evening in Kabul, the usual gaggle of squealing children were waiting to greet him -- his sons and daughters, and a slew of nieces and nephews. He pulled his white sedan into the driveway of a modest house in Kwaja Burga, a densely populated neighborhood in the northwest of the Afghan capital, and handed the keys to his eldest son to park. Youngsters piled into the vehicle -- pretending the parking routine was an adventure -- while Ezmarai watched from the side. Then out of the blue Afghan sky, a missile came screeching down -- striking the car with a terrible force and obliterating the lives of 10 people in an instant. The United States said Sunday it had destroyed an explosive-laden vehicle in an air strike, thwarting a bid by the Islamic State to detonate a car bomb at Kabul airport. On Monday, it looked as if they could have made a terrible mistake.
